Having had a couple of different makes of airers, this is the first one which didn't break/collapse under the weight of large bath towels, duvet covers and the like! I've had an old one (don't remember the make) for many years which has held countless amounts of the 'heavy stuff' without a murmur, but since our daughter moved back in with us, plus grand-daughter, one wasn't enough. I'd lost faith in finding a similar airer to my old one but having found this one, I'm happy! It's not QUITE as strong as my old one - it's a bit bendy - but it does the job and didn't break after two weeks! (Maybe it's bendy on for the same reason that trees sway in the wind?)For anybody looking for a PROPER airer,

Minky's Trio Concertina airer is pretty standard in appearance - a gunmetal tubular frame with thick metal rods running between the tubes, on to which your clothes are hung. It also has bolted joints, detachable plastic covers at the upper corners and plastic inserts for feet. It's held upright by two plastic clips located between two of the lower tube sections that self-engage when the airer is raised above a certain height. You push these clips up when you want to lower the airer (taking care to hold it securely so you don't trap your fingers!) It's actually quite easy to do as each clip stays open once you've pushed it,

The Minky Trio Concertina Tubular Clothes Airer, Silver for me was a good buy and would recommend for other customers looking for a clothes airer which is especially compact for storing but yet able to hold a couple of loads of washing at the one time while not costing too much money.I like it especially for holding the smaller items for drying, the main reason I do like this particular as with eight drying poles in each level and with three levels exactly there is adequate room to dry or air clothes within the home, which is very important because of needing to wash clothes on a daily business like many homes and with the weather patterns we seem to be having it is not suitable because of

I read quite a few reviews before I opted to get this airer. It is exactly what I wanted. The one I have is only waist high and although has served me well for many years, I needed another one that holds much more clothes. This Minky Trio airer is perfect for what I wanted. Its very tall, I'm 5,3 and it comes to my chin! Lots and lots of room for all clothes and even hanger holes on each corner for shirts etc. Very easy to put up but you do have to be a bit careful how you take it down so as not to get your fingers caught. This however would be the same with all concertina airers. There's a knack to it!! It seems to be made well, the outer bars are tubular but seem strong.

I've had this airer a while now and I thoroughly recommend it. It is strong, durable and sturdy. I have draped a single duvet over this as well as heavy coats and it has coped with the weight. The slats are well spaced and things dry well on it. It holds a lot of washing.The slats are plastic coated and keep the clothes clean and unmarked. There has been no issues with rust. On the corners there are moulded holes for hanging coat hangers which is a good practical idea for garments which need extra care.It is easy to put up and has slots which keep the airer safely in position and it just as easily concertinas up and stores neatly away. It is fairly lightweight to carry but by no means flimsy.The price I paid for this (under £20)

I bought this clothes airer after my 10 year old clothes horse finally bit the dust. I was initially reluctant to buy after reading some of the reviews about it breaking, collapsing etc but I really do need to stress that this airer is of excellent quality. it is very sturdy, easy to erect and if you follow the simple instructions it is simple to put down and stores neatly in my pantry. the 4 hanger sections on each corner are really handy for drying cardigans etc and are not at all flimsy as some people stated. I think when people talk about children's fingers being caught when putting airer down they should keep in mind that this is not a toy!!

After 2 months of constant use - loaded with clothes, towels, sheets, etc. - this is a second (additional) Minky Airer for us. It is not perfect: the holes in the corners are not large enough for easy hanging of plastic hangers (but they do fit); you get used to becoming a bit entangled while putting it down - this would be eased by putting the release mechanism at the top rather than bottom where you need to bend down and put your head into the airer to hold the handles; it doesn't fold down as small as I'd like - but then I'd like it to be taller when open.... On the positive: lots of hanging space; vertical takes up less room; they don't scratch our wooden floors when scraped along to move with the sun; they've never fallen down.

I bought this for my wife, who was well pleased with it. The product is well made and finished and stable when erected, which is just a matter of lifting the top section until the automatic locks click into place. Folding down is a bit more awkward because you have to lift the two locking clips whilst trying to lift the rail to release them. However, it's not that bad and you soon find your own technique. Except for the brackets, etc. it's an all metal construction and the cross rails, although small in diameter, are perfectly strong enough for the job in hand. On the top section, a plastic bracket is incorporated at each corner which has a small hole straight through.

Living in Spain means that you are unable to buy this type of product in your normal retail shop so Amazon fill a big gap in supplying to expats! This little Clothes Airer is exactly what I want for drying clothes in a small area when the weather is bad. The big plus is the added plastic corner pieces on the top rungs where you can hang coat hangers - a great innovation as it stops the coathanger slipping and sliding all over the place. It is sturdy and easy to pull into an upright position with one hand - however I find that releasing the bars that hold it firmly in place on the way up, are a little difficult to release for putting it down again and the whole thing can seem to collapse quite quickly and trap your fingers as well.

As a first year at university I needed something to dry my clothes on and this being quite cheap I decided to buy it. I was not disappointed! I have had this for over a month now and I have been able to fit both my 2 weeks worth of washing and my flat mates 2 weeks of washing on it too! The airer is made out of quite a sturdy material and can be easily put away. There are 4 places where you can hang certain clothes which is really useful if you want to try and get the creases out. This is also big enough to fit my single bed linen over to dry so that's a major plus.I can't think of any negatives apart from you have to be very careful when folding it as you can trap your fingers,

This is one of the most sturdy airers I have used. I bought this model in 2008 and I still have a similar Minky model I bought elsewhere in 2005. Both are still in use weekly.They have not rusted, discolored, broken in any way. They even have their original feet. All too often the plastic opening mechanism breaks on clothes airers, or the lower parts of the legs bend because of the weight of clothing. These show none of those signs.I load them up with plenty of washing, including on occasion feather duvets or sleeping bags, but they are still as good as new. My older one has fold-out plastic tips on the top corners for putting hangers on, and this model has holes instead.

So i have had one of these dryers for a while now and have been meaning to review it for as long!I think its really good and a very reasonable size. I have just bought another one because I managed to "stumble" into the last one and it couldnt quite handle that much weight :D !! I had noticed a few of the more recent reviews saying about handles failing etc which I cant say Ive had a problem with, and I do load it up as much as possible when I use it. I dont however fold it down very often so this may be one of the reason I havent had any problems with them failing!!The foot print when it is up isnt all that large and it does hold a good wash load for drying.

A sturdy dryer that has plenty of spokes to hang clothing over. The spokes are quite close together however it still does the job provided you leave it to dry in a well ventilated space. The holes in the corners for hangers are okay but I wouldn't recommend using them unless you know your clothes will be able to dry quickly, since anything hung on them will just prevent more airflow to other clothing. I've had it for about a year now and it was a good size for just under a week's load of washing for one person. I lived in halls and it wasn't too wide for a small box room. I recall it arriving very quickly and saved me a lot of money on tumble dryers.

I bought this to replace a similar clothes airer I purchased at Argos which was actually more expensive. It lasted 3 weeks before collapsing in the middle of the night after one of the plastic hinges broke. The Minky clothes airer seems a lot more durable so hopefully it will last a lot longer! The rail positions and spacing seem to be very cleverly thought out. I can fit about 2 loads of washing on it and even with the rails all full there still seems to be enough open space to let clothes dry sufficiently fast. The coat hanger holes are also a welcome addition and work well. I'll definitely buy another one when I eventually need more space.

I had a metal airer for about 20 years. When that needed replacing I wanted to buy this one but my husband wanted a wooden one. So we got a wooden one. It was the worst buy, unstable and eventually broke after about 3 months. So I then got this one. It is extremely stable, looks good and I can tell that it's going to last. Brilliant purchase. Excellent value for money.Having used it for a few weeks now I still think it's brilliant. You can even put it up one handed. The other day my washing was outside on the line, it started to rain so I quickly gathered all washing in one arm, got inside, pulled up this airer with my free hand,
